Who’s traveling to Orlando soon? Raise those hands!

As major Disney fans, we do quite a bit of traveling in and out of Orlando, which means we’re frequent visitors of the Orlando International Airport (MCO). If you fly through MCO like we do, we’ve got some important information for you!

The Orlando Business Journal reports that two airlines are adding new flights to Orlando. Some of these routes come just in time for a busier holiday travel season!

First of all, Frontier Airlines is adding a new flight to Burlington, Vermont in December. This is one of 22 new routes for the airline, including several new connections to Tampa International Airport.

In addition, Breeze Airways is adding three more flights to MCO. On December 21st, new flights will be added to Provo Airport in Utah. Then, flights to Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport in Mississippi are coming on February 6th, and Ogdensburg International Airport in New York on February 13th.

“Orlando continues to boom for us and we’re thrilled to add even more service today,” David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and CEO, said in a news release. “With 34 destinations, Orlando now has more routes than any other Breeze airport.”

Keep in mind that we’ll likely see an increase in airport crowds over the next few months as people prepare to travel for fall break, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If you’re heading to MCO, make sure to give yourself extra time for airport security proceedings and boarding.
